I remember reading about these in Popular Mechanics and Scientific American magazines in the 2000s and the supposed benefit was less noise and much more fuel efficiency. It's a bummer it's taken this long. I would love to see them come to fruition!
Woah, that is a cool looking design, almost looks like something right out of Star Wars! Really fascinating to read about work towards more sustainable aircraft designs, as well as the challenges of working towards making a design like this real.
